Can lobsters swim

Answer 1

Yes, lobsters will die if not in water. Lobsters have gills and cannot breath air. Although, they can last for a few days if left in a cool, moist environment because they store seawater in their gills to use if they need to survive out of water.

Answer 2

The name "Lobster" most commonly refers to the crustaceans of the family "Nephropidae", sometimes also "Homaridae"which live only in salt water. There are a number of other crustaceans that have common names including "lobster" in the name in some parts of the world, such as the "squat lobster," but are not true lobsters. The squat lobster, for example, is in fact more closely related to crabs than to lobsters.

A close "relative" of the lobster, of the family "Parastacidae," is the crayfish which only lives in fresh water. Again, there are a number of other crustaceans that are salt water dwellers, that have common names including "crayfish" in the name in some parts of the world. But they are not true "crayfish," such as the "spiny lobster" which is called a "crayfish" in Australia amongst other places. As the "spiny lobster" lacks claws it is not a lobster or a crayfish, despite being called both depending on where you live.

SO the answer depends on what country you live in, but is really "no."
